The parisc allmodconfig started failing recently.   An automated
bisect comes up with the following commit:

af3dcc1705ead3cbff4450a1b16c8b060c7ef69a is the first bad commit

    parisc: Switch to generic sched_clock implementation

    Drop the open-coded sched_clock() function and replace it by the provided
    GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK implementation.  We have seen quite some hung
tasks in the
    past, which seem to be fixed by this patch.
